    About 70 lbs. I find a box the right size, cut a board to the size of the bottom of the box, put dowels in the axle holes to keep the gears in place, drill holes in the board, rope the trans to the board and put it in the box. It cost me between $40 and $75 by fedex.

          Wasn't there a member train before? Like, you go and meet person A in Location B, then they meet the next and so on?
